We woke to a rain - our second rainy day in Berlin and forecast to be heavy and to last all day. A good day to be in a gallery. Clare had really enjoyed the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum für Gegenwart (Modern Art Gallery) when she was last in Berlin so we decided to go there. We caught the train into the Berlin Hauptbahnhof - the main Berlin station, a … [Read more...] about Berlin – Day Nineteen. Hamburger Bahnhof Museum. Tim Raue. (18/10/22)

Berlin – Day Eighteen. Babylon Berlin Walk. (17/10/22)
I think they should market a Babylon Berlin Walk - I'd like to check out all of the places used in that show. In the event Joe organised a walk with at least one site that featured in the show. Here he is planning it. While I write my blog. This is how we spend most mornings on our holidays together. This day Clare had gone into the … [Read more...] about Berlin – Day Eighteen.

Berlin – Day Seventeen. Humboldt Park, Mauermarket. (16/10/22)
The best thing about today is that Joe came back from City Light! We decided this was the right thing to do last night. He's feeling better and has almost no symptons. So he arrived at the apartment late morning, just before Clare and I set out for another market, this one a must see according to the tourism guides. Before we were out of our … [Read more...] about Berlin – Day Seventeen. Humboldt Park, Mauermarket. (16/10/22)
Berlin – Day Sixteen. Farmers Market. (15/10/22)
Feeling gloomy at the absence of Joe, but Clare and I ventured out to the local farmers market. Which was wonderful. We are located in a predominantly Turkish area of Wedding and the market reminded me forcefully of the markets in Istanbul. These tomatoes looked better in the photo - because of the sun - than in real life and we didn't buy … [Read more...] about Berlin – Day Sixteen. Farmers Market. (15/10/22)
Berlin – Day Fifteen. Covid. (14/10/22)
On this day disaster strikes. Clare tested positive for Covid on the 11th of October. Today Joe did. He's been sick with mild cold symptoms since we've been in Berlin, but today feeling things worsening he took a RAT. And there it was, finally! I had thought he was one of those rare people with an immunity to the wretched virus, he didn't get it … [Read more...] about Berlin – Day Fifteen. Covid. (14/10/22)
Berlin – Day Fourteen.Leipzig.(13/10/22)
After our big night at Ernst we were up early and out of the apartment without having breakfast. Which may have led to the error that had us on the express train to the airport - instead of our destination. It wasn't the special train which looks like the one below - which we surely would not have caught! Rather it was the regular train to Dresden … [Read more...] about Berlin – Day Fourteen.Leipzig.(13/10/22)
